  • Kinky Lesbians and U-Locks in “Sweet Ride” at 2013 Filmed by Bike

    The short film “Sweet Ride” directed by Ilima Considine, singer of The Sexbots, will show during Filmed by Bike, a film festival of the best bike themed movies from around the world, April 20-23, 2013 at the Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton Street in Portland, Oregon.

    The film features a lesbian love nest with a Sprockette and a greasy bike mechanic, kinky sex involving a bike helmet, someone gets beaten into a coma with a U-lock and what the filmmaker best describes as “or, as my Asian mom said, “I can’t watch this.”

    Considine’s debut short in 2011’s Filmed by Bike was about a pair of friends who shared a fetish for bike mechanics, just like the director.  She has claimed that this 4-minute short was a thinly veiled excuse to make out with a Sprockette and beat someone with a bike lock.

    The Bare As You Dare documentary, directed by Ian McCluskey, premieres at the 11th Annual Filmed by Bike, April 20-23, 2013, at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon. The film follows several unlikely-to-get-naked cyclists as they forgo their clothes and ride with thousands of people on the Portland World Naked Ride.

    World Naked Rides started as a demonstration against excessive dependence on oil, but have quickly spread around the globe as celebrations of the freedom of bicycling. Portland’s annual ride, founded in 2002, is widely regarded as the largest in the nation, though the numbers have not yet been verified. Organizers hope to get an official count at the next ride this June.

    Filmed by Bike is a film festival showcasing the best bicycle movies from around the world. The festival runs April 20-23, 2013, at the Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton Street in Portland, Oregon.
